The brass float was eaten. The crusty dirt on the sending unit it old gas. The new seals for the tank were all cracked. When I put acetone on it and scrubbed it. Didn't touch it.

Old crusted gas. That should look silver in color. The tank is entirely caked in it.
Acetone isn't touching it. Going to see if a radiator shop can boil it out chemically.
I've heard that denatured alcohol works. If acetone doesn't.....I don't know. That's some powerful stuff and it's not touching it. It's sealed up so I'll give it a couple of days to see if it breaks down.
Could have been a lot of my problem. I didn't see any sediment in the second filter so I think it's ok in the carburetor.
Can't find a float for sale. It's almost better to by the whole sending unit. It's $44
And comes with the sock, lock ring, and gasket
The sock and lock ring gasket alone are $15.
Not to mention the cost alone of the float with is probably around $10 if I can find it.
My sending unit was new......7 years ago....all this stuff was new.
I found a tank new on eBay for $70 sniped. I spent $25 today alone on acetone to clean it andnit didn't touch it. Gonna have to do some figuring
